Click Menu | Reporting | Queries, then Actions | New Query. The Query Wizard appears starting with the
Result Types tab.
The result types are organized into groups on the left hand side of the page. Depending on what
extensions have been checked into ePolicy Orchestrator these groups vary. Most of the result types
are self explanatory but two of the more powerful result types are Threat Events and Managed
Systems. You can access these two events types as shown in the following examples.
• Threat Events — In the following, click Systems Events in the Feature Group and Threat Events in
the Result Type.
• Managed Systems — In the following, click Systems Management in the Feature Group and Managed
Systems in the Result Type.

You must choose your chart type. There are several chart types to choose from and some are more
complex than others. The two simplest charts are the pie chart and the single group summary
table. The pie chart is good for comparing multiple values in a graphic format and the summary
table is good for viewing a data set with over 20 results.
Click Pie Chart under Display Results Type.
